Chapter 21 Signature Sale One
"Do you see any difference between this book and the book you bought?" Li Changxian sat down to drink tea and looked at Li Changlu with a smile.
The difference? Li Changlu read it several times, but there is no difference. This Journey to the West is so well written that I have read it seven or eight times!
"Pay attention to Wu Qilong" Li Changxian reminded Li Changlu.
Li Changlu flipped through it again, always feeling like Li Changxian was playing tricks on him. But looking at the people around him, it didn’t look like he was playing tricks on me!
There is one place in the book that says Wu Qilong. Is there any difference? It’s the same as the book I bought.
Is there a seal underneath? Could it be...
"Brother, this book was given to you by Mr. Wu Qilong?"
Everyone laughed even more!
Li Changlu was really angry! He looked at Li Changxian and others angrily.
Li Zhu hurried over and introduced the third young master: "Far away in the horizon, close in front of you. This is Mr. Wu Qilong!"
Li Changlu stared at Li Changxian dumbfounded, and then laughed loudly, "Are you Wu Qilong? You lied to me again? Who doesn't know that you are a big idiot? Can you memorize the Three-Character Sutra?"
Seeing that Li Changlu didn't believe him, Li Changxian asked Li Zhu to give him his seal, the contract signed with the shopkeeper, and letters from several sisters, all implying that Journey to the West was written by Li Changxian, and Mr. Wu Qilong was Li Changxian.
Li Changxian looked at Li Changxian, then at the contract and letter in his hand. He looked at Li Changxian in disbelief. His mind was confused and he couldn't believe himself.
Is this Li Changxian? The Li Changxian in my memory is not like this. When he was studying in the Li Mansion, he even read the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Essay for several years, and was scolded by the teacher every day. Everyone recognized him as a big idiot! Even the second
My brother wrote a letter saying that this man is hopeless and advised me to ignore him.
Could it be that the sun has come out from the west? Could it be that Li Changxian suddenly fell in love with God? Or maybe Li Changxian is just pretending to be a straw bag, but he is full of wisdom inside.
Yes! Li Changxian is definitely full of knowledge. In the past, the Li family must have pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Li Changxian looked at Li Changxian carefully again and saw that he was sitting in the lobby with an enigmatic look. He felt scared in his heart. I hadn't offended him before, had I? Think about how many times I had done that? Then I thought about myself at that time.
You are so young, you must have forgotten it, and Master Li must have forgotten it too!
This book is not written by ordinary people! It is so well written! I bought it and read it seven or eight times. I am very grateful to this old gentleman Qilong for giving me a little literary talent and a little courage in my life.
Li Changxian is my eldest brother! I am Wu Qilong’s younger brother! From now on, when you go out and tell your classmates, tell me in a brothel, who doesn’t envy me! I must flatter Mr. Li and give me an autograph!
Li Changlu looked at Li Changxian longingly, "Brother, can I have a signed copy of Journey to the West?" Look, I am your fan!
Li Changxian threw the Journey to the West in his hand in disgust, "Here you go!"
Li Changlu thought about it again. I also want to get a few copies for my classmates and Qingyun Girl from the Brothel. I will take them out and show them. Look, this is Wu Qilong's autographed book! Come and see, come on.
Envy me!
As soon as Li Changlu spoke, he was flatly rejected by Li Changxian.
Seeing that Li Changlu didn't understand, Li Changxian explained: "Look how much this signed copy of Journey to the West can be sold for."
Li Changlu thought for a while. The unsigned Journey to the West cost one tael per copy on the market. He held the copy of Journey to the West signed by Li Changxian. His classmates gave him fifty taels? Ten taels? No, fifty taels! His classmates all had money.
!Although my father is the magistrate of Yangzhou, I can't stand the fact that there are so many wealthy families in Yangzhou! If my father didn't have an official position here, I would be a poor guy among my classmates! Who can curry favor with you? Who can pay your brothel bills?
"Thirty taels!" Li Changlu did not dare to exaggerate. He could only think of an average price and felt that most students in the academy could afford it.
"Then I'll hold a signature sale party?" Li Changxian said with a smile.
"Sale meeting? What?" Li Changlu didn't understand what Li Changxian said.
"Xiaosan, you are short-sighted! You only focus on your classmates. I feel sorry for you! Look at Yangzhou City, it is so prosperous and there are so many rich people. Do you think we sell autographed books to them?" Li Changxian asked
Li Changlu drew a big cake.
"Yes, yes! There are many rich people in Yangzhou! Brother, please sign more books and we will sell them on the street. We will definitely make a lot of money!" Li Changlu almost jumped up with joy.
Li Changxian looked at Li Changlu with disdain, are you the son of the magistrate of Yangzhou? Do you think I am a commoner and still sell on the street? Do I still need status and dignity? If you don't want me, I still have to save some face for myself! You
Going to sell on the street? See if Uncle San can break your legs?
"Then brothel?" Li Changlu realized he had made a mistake and said cautiously.
What kind of child is this? Is he stupid in studying? It seems that the education of the third uncle is not good! He only knows academies and brothels. It seems that when the third uncle comes, he will give him some advice and ask Li Changlu to run around with him twice in the future!
"No, we are going to hold a large-scale autograph sale event in Yangzhou. This is why I am looking for you to make money! You can introduce your classmates to promote it!" Li Changxian suggested that Li Changlu go to the academy to promote it, because these stupid young men
The best to cheat, the most fanatical, and the most fan-like!
"Yes, yes, we can suggest them to tell their sisters, brothers, and friends, and they can also go to brothels to promote it!" Li Changlu seemed to suddenly have an idea.
Li Changxian looked at Li Changlu and just wanted to complain. This mistress still only thinks about brothels. It seems that she often goes to brothels!
However, in this era, brothels are definitely the best place for publicity. Officials, rich men, dandies, and scholars all like to go to brothels. As long as something happens in the brothel, it will immediately spread to the entire Yangzhou city.
"Brother, you want to sign more copies. I want three hundred copies, five hundred copies, no, one thousand copies!" Li Changlu said, still thinking about how many copies he should sell?
"Sign 10,000 copies first! We'll see how the sales go." Li Changxian suggested.
"Is it too much? I think one or two thousand copies will be enough!" Li Changlu thought for a while and asked.
"You look down on people from Yangzhou! You are half Yangzhou now, don't ask me to despise you!" Li Changxian couldn't help but extend his middle finger.
"I calculated, 10,000 books, 1 or 2 a piece, buying the books will cost 10,000 taels, okay, I will pay for the books!" After thinking about it, Li Changlu decided to pay for it himself. It is not easy for the eldest brother to come here with a big family.
People, if the Jingcheng branch is like the second wife, she will never give Mr. Li much money.
He was really right! The second wife gave five thousand taels in the beginning. Who would have thought that Li Changxian later defrauded him of as much as one hundred thousand taels.
Li Changxian and others looked at Li Changlu with disdain. Just now he said that he had no money. As soon as he saw that he had made a fortune, he would immediately take out ten thousand taels.
Li Zhu quietly opened the baggage he had brought with him and revealed the banknotes inside!
Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million? Why so much money? Li Changlu was dumbfounded. He thought to himself that Mr. Li would never be a robber. He had robbed so much money along the way? He couldn't help but look outside to see if there were any.
I came to arrest Li Changxian, but then I thought, this is the Li Mansion in Yangzhou, who dares to come? Who dares to come without proof?
"I earned it!" Li Changxian said firmly.
"Ah, how much money does this Journey to the West make? Brother, you made it. It took so many years for my father to come to Yangzhou to get one million. You are almost making more than him!" After Li Changlu finished speaking, he immediately thought of one thing.
I have exposed my father's evil deeds. Looking at the hall, we are all our own people, so it doesn't matter. Isn't that official in Yangzhou making a lot of money? My father is still a man who understands etiquette and integrity.
As ugly and greedy as other officials.
When Li Changxian saw that Li Changlu had put all the money into Journey to the West, he didn't mind anything. If there weren't so many pirated copies, maybe he could earn a million from this book.
This is what Li Changxian wants! I can earn so much from this book, come and please me! Let’s invest together and make a fortune together!
"Brother, I'm relying on you. You must help me make money. I'm almost dying of poverty. The government doesn't give me any money. I don't even dare to drink a tael of tea. I won't tell anyone when I see you.
I'm a poor man, it's embarrassing, I'm a Yangzhou magistrate! I shed tears every time I go out!" Li Changlu started to suffer miserably. Seeing that Li Changxian was making so much money selling books, he must invest. He must invest
Catch Mr. Li!
Manager Li, who secretly came back from outside, saw the third young master Li Changlu holding the eldest young master Li Changxian, crying and asking to invest money.
Confused! The third young master was deceived again!
No, isn't the third young master angry every time he is deceived? Why did he cry this time? Seeing that he still looked unwilling, why was Li Changlu crying so miserably?
Routine? It must be a routine!
I'd better stay away from Mr. Li, I can't stand it!
I am old and have a bad heart, but I still want to live a few more years!
No more late nights!
My head has been pounding all day long! My eyelids are numb and I just want to sleep!
Write in a daze.
After I finished writing, I discovered what was written here!
Delete and rewrite!
During work, customers came one after another, so I had to write a little on the assistant and publish a little.
Chapter completed!
